Although Kangxi has long intended to let the Manchu family no longer take the imperial examination, in many cases, there will always be such and such conflicts and contradictions between reality and ideas, which Kangxi himself knows very well, he originally planned to take a step-by-step approach, slowly change, and the subtle influence has reduced the number of Manjiaerlang who read Bagu articles.

But how can I think that when Enke has started the exam, when he saw the thick and dense resumes of the exam-taking students, Kangxi was stunned to find that among so many people, there was no one from the Eight Banners!

Well, Tong Jia's family, Tong Guowei, who was born in Xi Qing, is the Han army banner of the 28th Classic!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, not only this time Enke, but even in last year's serious imperial examination, there were very few students from the Eight Banners, and Kangxi heard the report in this situation, but he didn't take it completely to heart, after all, even if it was less, it wasn't one, right?

It is also very understandable to say, originally the children of the Eight Banners were able to inherit the ancestral Yin Feng, and there were not many people who would go to the imperial examination, and after the death of Nalan Xingde, Kangxi was a little evasive to talk about this 'celebrity' among the Manchurians......

"Hehe......"

Kangxi laughed a few times with a complicated expression, threw the stack of resumes on the table, and breathed a long sigh of relief as if he was sighing something, closed his eyes slightly and muttered for a long time, before he asked lightly: "Didn't you say that the Queen Mother is going to have a banquet today?" ”

There was no beginning or end to what he asked, but Li Dequan understood what Kangxi meant, and he replied with a funny smile on his face:

"Originally, Princess Minjia was about to get up, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to be interested for a while, and wanted to see the knowledge of the princesses, so she asked for the question of the exam from Shuntianfu Township to the exam, so that the princesses could take the exam in Ningshou Palace, so they ......"

Scold. The old lady's interest is good~

Kangxi couldn't help but be surprised, and asked with interest: "Then who invigilates the exam and who marks the papers?" What kind of topics did you choose? You didn't delay the banquet, did you? ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, the Queen Mother went to set up a banquet by herself, and handed it over to Wang Guiren to invigilate the examination, as for the marking of the papers...... The Queen Mother originally planned to have someone transcribe it and put it in the papers of the exam-taking students, but the dragon gate has been closed, and the boudoir articles cannot be dispersed, so the matter has not yet been decided.

The questions are set according to age, and Princess Minjia will take the exam. The sixth and eighth princesses took the questions of the township exam, and the ninth and tenth princesses took the questions of the children's exam. ”

Li Dequan has a rough and detailed explanation, but it is the Ninth Princess who will mention this idea. And the Empress Dowager Renxian originally wanted to let the princesses choose their own topics, so that they could see the self-knowledge of several princesses, or draw lots to choose the topic and try their luck for fun, but the ninth princess felt that this was unfair. Coquettishly begged for the matter of dividing the topic according to age.,Quietly hidden.。

As for why the Nine Princesses did this?

It's not that the little girl thinks she's grown up and her knowledge is good, and she wants to take over the errand of drafting the decree for the queen mother~

Who instigated it?

Who else could there be?

Of course, she is the biological mother of the ninth princess, and now she lives next to the Tiyuan Palace, and the Yuan nobles in the palace of Concubine Mi~~

Hehe. This idea is okay, but unfortunately, the ninth princess doesn't look at her young age. But he was also a little cautious, so he took a slightly simpler question to do, and asked Princess Minjia to do the most difficult exam questions, which not only avoided the problem, but also made Princess Minjia, who was not good at writing, make a fool of herself.

It's a pity, it's a pity~ The ninth princess is a little younger. Who would know, I heard that it has been since Princess Minjia was a child. First the ancestor of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, and then the emperor Long Live the Emperor, she often took the imperial examination questions to test her?

Don't look at Princess Minjia's reluctance, if you really talk about it, you may not be able to pass the Jinshiyo~

Li Dequan just thought about these words in his heart, although he also knew that nothing could be hidden from Kangxi, but as a minion, if Kangxi didn't ask directly, he would never gossip about the princes and princesses without authorization, this is his duty.

Of course, if Kangxi asked, then Li Dequan would never hide anything, he must tell the truth, this is also his duty.

For His Holiness, it is permissible to use a little Spring and Autumn brushwork, but if it is deliberately concealed, it is the way to take trouble~

Kangxi was not worried about Su Baiyu, but he was also curious about the level of the other daughters, and glanced up and down at Li Dequan, who was obviously a little fugue, without exposing his little caution, let alone who should review the exam papers for the princesses, smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards the south study, and after walking a few steps, he floated out a sentence:

"Spread the decree and recruit Shengjing General Zhou Peigong to return to Beijing to report on his work."

Zhou Peigong?!

Li Dequan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stopped, until Kangxi looked back at himself in surprise, and then carefully reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty~ Zhou Peigong is seriously ill, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come to Beijing from afar~"

“…… Let the Tai Hospital send the best doctor, with the best medicine, go quickly, give Pei Gong a good recuperation, and come to Beijing in autumn, if you can't go by land, you will take the sea route for me, but you must bring Pei Gong back to the capital safely and securely! ”

Kangxi was obviously surprised by the news that Li Dequan said, he had heard that Zhou Peigong was sick, and thought it was a trouble, at this time, looking at Li Dequan's appearance, he felt that he was only afraid that he was really sick very strictly, and his heart couldn't help but hurt slightly, opened his mouth, and muttered for a while before he continued, but his voice gradually changed from indifferent to cold, and finally even a little cold.

His slender phoenix eyes also involuntarily squinted slightly, until they were all finished, he flicked his sleeves and strode forward with his hands behind his back, but in that direction, it was no longer the South Study, but Ningshou Palace.

Not to mention how busy the hospital was because of Kangxi's will, not to mention what all kinds of people who got the news thought, not to mention Xi Qingtong's shoes who had entered the small partition in the examination room at this time, let's talk about Su Baiyu who was struggling to write~

Yes, she was writing the answer sheet quickly at this time.

Seeing Su Baiyu like this, whether it was Wang Guiren who was invigilating in the palace, or the Empress Dowager Renxian and others peeking out the window, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the two old ladies of Empress Dowager Renxian and Su Malagu looked at each other and smiled, and left quietly together.

"Huang Eniang~"

Kangxi shouted softly, while quickly catching up with the Empress Dowager Renxian and others, and after stepping forward to salute, he personally supported Aunt Su Mala, who was bent down.

Empress Dowager Renxian patted Kangxi's arm with a smile and asked curiously, "Is the emperor going to see those girls?" How did you get in through the corner gate? ”

"Doesn't my son think that there are many people in the main hall, and it's troublesome~"

Kangxi was also in front of the Empress Dowager Renxian and Aunt Su Mala, so he spoke with a hint of admiration so easily, although he found a reason, but he did not deny that he really wanted to see Su Baiyu's exam.

Empress Dowager Renxian smiled with a little urgency, blinked her eyes and said, "Don't say it, those girls really have their own appearances when they take the test, the funniest Yu'er girl."

It's been a long time, and I've been closing my eyes all the time, and I'm even breathing, and I've just started to write, and the mourning family really thinks she's asleep, and she dares to be in the belly~"

"Hehe......"

Kangxi smiled and amused the old lady, and followed the Empress Dowager Renxian to take a peek, which was also a lot easier, but as the emperor, the Empress Dowager Renxian couldn't leave the visitors behind for too long, so after talking for a while, they dispersed, and Kangxi still returned to his Qianqing Palace from the corner gate of the garden of Ningshou Palace as usual.

Su Baiyu and the other princesses' exams, although they will also use screens to separate a small space, but they will definitely not be as simple and filthy as the partition in the tribute courtyard, and they don't have to take an exam for several days, eating, drinking, and sleeping in that small partition, and then wait until the dragon gate is opened before going out.

Although the palace maids, eunuchs, and grandmothers were far away and couldn't come forward, the seats were still very comfortable. Although the topic is the same, if they really don't want to write, they can still hand in the blank scroll~

Well, for the Ten Princesses, who have never been too impatient to learn, this is just a game that is not fun.

"Sister~ When you open the dragon gate, let the fifth sister take us to see the excitement? I heard the starling say that the students who came out of the dragon gate were tired like dead dogs, is this really the case? The tenth princess was very curious and asked the eighth princess, who handed in the paper after a short time behind her.

The eighth princess smiled, pulled the tenth princess away from the 'examination room', and explained in a low voice as she walked, the two sisters obeyed the decree of the Empress Dowager Renxian, and did not go to the front hall to say goodbye, but went out from the corner gate of Ningshou Garden, returned to the bedroom of the mother concubine Liangfei, and went to have lunch and a nap.

When the ninth princess carefully checked her article and handed it over to Wang Guiren, who was in charge of the invigilator, she took a deep look at Su Baiyu, who was still writing wildly, and then reluctantly walked out of the palace under the slight pull of her mother.

But she was not willing to return to her body yuan hall like this, but asked people to move a chair, sit outside the window, eat snacks and drink goat's milk, watching Su Baiyu's every move as if she was a deputy invigilator, and her small face looked a little dignified that did not match her age.

Xiao Baibai~ Don't write too seriously, otherwise Xiao Jiu'er's little girl may think that you are reluctant to draft an errand of Yizhi~

Xi Qing, who was in the examination booth, smiled and ate the pastry in his hand, looked at the draft he had written, and at the same time did not forget to remind Su Baiyu through the soul transmission, not caring about the invigilator's gaze at him.

Su Baiyu pursed her lips slightly, and replied very disdainfully: "Whatever, she has to share the joys and sorrows with her husband!" The former little Jiu'er is such a cute, simple baby~"

Isn't this called 'deep love, deep responsibility'?

Xi Qing's smile added a hint of bitterness, and he stopped persuading, and began to change his article on his own.
